We were so proud to be part of the Sobell House 50th anniversary event at the Westgate Centre last weekend! π¨
Our Art & Design students displayed and sold a range of Oxfordshire-inspired prints, badges and tote bags, while Media students captured the event on film. Visitors also had the chance to meet Patch, Sobell House's mascot, brought to life by our staff and students!
This collaboration has also seen our Music students compose original pieces to support Sobell House campaigns, demonstrating the wide range of creative talents our students contribute to meaningful community projects.
Thank you to everyone who visited, supported the event and helped raise funds for such an important local charity. π

Our Sports and Public Services students and staff came together for a friendly (but competitive!) volleyball match in support of Scoliosis Support & Research. Not only was it a brilliant opportunity to celebrate the end of term, but also to say a heartfelt farewell to a much-valued member of staff as they head into retirement.
The team chose this charity due to its meaningful connection to our college community, and together we were proud to raise Β£70 for a great cause. π
Thank you to everyone who took part and supported! πͺβ¨
We had a fantastic day at the Grove and Wantage Extravaganza this weekend!
Our Technology Department showcased some of the exciting hands-on experiences our students enjoy in our Engineering and Motor Vehicle courses.
Visitors had the chance to see our 3D printer in action, creating articulated 3D printed dragons, take home personalised Abingdon & Witney key rings made on our engraver, check out our BMW i8 and test their driving skills on our racing simulator. ππ§ποΈ
It was wonderful to meet so many adults and young people throughout the day, chat about our courses, and give an insight into life at college. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and get involved!
